Love the vid man, play elden ring asap!
Should be getting it this week I hope!
Nice vid! Title confused me a bit cause I thought this was gonna be about the first game only, only to then understand that is was franchise wide. Couple of things (nothing major but for future ref):
-The DS3 enemies are called Puss of Man, not Man of Puss. It's weird, I know.
-In DS1, you can skip a good chunk of Blightown thanks to the key you can chose as your gift at the start of the game, via the shortcut in the Valley of the Drakes. I do believe that, with that in mind, Lost Izalith and the Catacombs/Tomb of the Giants take the cake, with the Crystal Cave and Great Hollow as dishonorable mentions.
-DS2 has two versions, base game and Scholar of the First Sin. The latter changes some of the base game areas drastically. I am not one of those that thinks Scholar is terrible but even I cannot defend the clown car that is Old Iron Keep.
-I do very much like Crown of the Sunken King DLC, but that just might be cause it very much feels like a King's Field area as opposed to a Dark Souls area, gimmicks and all. Also agreed with ti being the better of the three DLC areas (tho Frozen Eleyum Loyce is a fantastic set piece imo).
-Maybe I didn't hear it properly, was studying while listening, but I am shocked there wasn't a mention of Shrine of Amana as like, one of the worst areas in the franchise. Even as someone that took it's sweet time sniping everyone, that place is still ass.
All good points! I called Shrine of Amana something else I think i coupled it together with Tseldora. I was not as clear as I could have been I'm still getting the hang of these types of videos. And yes! the title was giving me alot of trouble haha because it is a video trying to support DS 3 but then after I made it I realized I talked alot about the series in general. I was stumped for quite a bit on the upload page where it asks me for a title haha guess i didn't quite nail it. I appreciate the feed back!
Damn, saying the catacombs in dark souls 1 is a bad area is such a bad take. I skimmed thru most the video after you said that tbh but didn't see you talk about world design, just specific locations, which is a shame cause its such a huge part of the worldbuilding and sense of immersion in these games.
